An administrator is creating a virtual machine that will be running “Windows 2008 Enterprise (64- bit). The application to installed in the virtual machine requires eight vCPUs to run effectively. During installation, the only available options are one, two, three, or four vCPUs.
What condition explains the available vCPU selections?
A.
The virtual machine hardware version is 8.
B.
The guest operating system for the virtual machine is 64-bit
C.
The ES3G host has two AMD dual-core CPUs
D.
The ESXi host has two Intel dual-core CPUs
C should be correct if ES3G is seen as a spelling mistake. Intel CPUs have hyperthreading and so two dual core Intel CPUs will present 8 cpus to vmware. AMD CPUs do not support hyperthreading and so two dual core AMD CPUs will only be seen as 4. The spelling should be corrected in choice C or the question removed.
